Description and My Opinion About my Careers :D

Auto body Repairers –
They enter the trade in one of two ways: by completing a formal training program, or by obtaining on-the-job training. Formal training is generally the most desirable option, as it improves chances for employment and promotion. Auto body training programs offered through many high schools, private schools, and community colleges. Generally these programs last about 1 to 2 years in length, and may include work placement. Graduates of auto body repair programs often receive additional on-the-job from their employers once their hired. Some Auto body repairers are paid on an hourly basis; they usually make $100,000 a year, if all goes well that is.

Heavy Equipment Operator –
To enter this field of work you need a High school Diploma at least. Most operators are trained on the job; Training usually starts with handling light weight equipment, later as time goes by they learn to use heavier objects for work such as Bulldozers and Graders. Heavy equipment operator should have a solid understanding of math, reading, and communication skills, they must work well under pressure and able to react quickly. The pay depends on how hard the work is and the area, possibly 9 to 14 dollars an hour; it works out to be 19,000 to 29,000 dollars a year. For this job Id probably handle the lifter machines because it’s looks really easy to use them, and I like to operate easy machines unlike those complicated machines, like airplanes and that type of stuff.

Reflection on the 2 jobs –
Well at first I thought I would be wealthy with these two jobs, but now I don’t think I’m going to be very rich. For auto body repairer I learned that I have to take auto tech every year, to get the right education to get a good job. And I also learned that I would be doing ok with that amount of money, unlike heavy equipment operator. I wouldn’t take that job because it’s not enough for me, 9 to 14 bucks an hour, that’s a lot of work for not much of the outcome. I would rather choose the auto body repairer because it’s a more amusing job for me because my dad also works on cars and I would get more money for that. The one thing that surprises me is the pay that you get for working heavy machinery, your risking your life by working very heavy stuff. They should pay them twice the income they have now, and besides I don’t think it’s enough to work out the taxes of their house, so it’s not the best choice. I mostly like operating easy stuff, unlike airplanes and those types of complicated machines, with millions of controls, it will probably overwhelm me.
